‘Twisted’ Recap: Danny Reveals His Motive For Murdering His Aunt

Things just keep getting more and more ‘Twisted’ with every episode! On the July 23 episode, the love triangle intensifies, Danny remains suspicious and secrets are spilled.

Although the July 23 episode of Twisted didn’t involve any deaths or solved mysteries, it certainly kept us wanting more! The girls get gutsy and finally attempt to crack Danny (Avan Jogia) to find out the deep, dark secret about his aunt — but there’s much more to the episode than just that!

Jo Admits She Likes Danny

The love triangle continues! Even though we all knew Jo (Maddie Hasson) has the hots for Danny, she finally admitted it to Rico (Ashton Moio), who was highly disappointed with her confession.

Like a majority of the people surrounding Jo, Rico doesn’t quite understand why Jo likes Danny so much. He thinks Jo has the capability to make Danny “normal” again, but Jo doesn’t think there are any necessary changes to be made.

All Jo really wants — well, besides Danny, of course — is for him to come out and tell her why he did what he did. Rico wishes she would stop obsessing over him and the mystery behind the murder, but she won’t stop until she get answers.

Danny Gets Framed — Again!

Someone is definitely out to make Danny’s life even more miserable than it already has been since he came back from juvy.

First, he was perfectly framed to seem like he killed Regina. Now, luckily no one else is dead, but someone was poisoned, which is close enough to make Danny the suspect.

One of Danny’s teammates on the soccer team, Cole (John DeLuca), called in sick for practice due to food poisoning, but none of the other members of the team are buying that. Danny was the only one to have seen Cole earlier that day in the locker room, and captain Archie (Grey Damon) calls Danny out for being the reason for Cole’s absence.

Coach Chandler (Drew Powell) wants to give Danny the benefit of the doubt, but when he discovered an open bag of moth balls — which have a tendency to mimick the effects of food poisioning — in the locker room trash can, all he can do is assume Danny had something to do with Cole’s illness.

It looks like Danny was framed again! He didn’t end up in any legal trouble for this one, but he did lose his spot on the soccer team.

Someone seems to be out to ruin Danny, and they definitely know what they are doing. Danny thinks it’s Archie, but time will only tell!

Danny Reveals His Motive For Killing His Aunt

Lacey and Jo finally work up the courage to confront Danny about his secret reason for killing his aunt, but he tells them the same thing he has been telling them from the beginning. He can’t tell them, and it’s solely for their protection.

Despite his reluctancy, not too long after he decides to open up a little bit to Jo, telling her that his dad and aunt Tara hated each other.

He tells Jo that if I hadn’t done what he did, Tara was going to destroy his family and ruin his life. Jo didn’t think she had the power to do that, but Danny reassured her she definitely did.

What Danny told Jo gave us some clarity on his reason for killing his aunt, but what kind of power did she hold? Would it put Jo and Lacey in danger if they knew about it?

Lacey Confesses Her Love To Danny

While Jo is stuck in the dark knowing absolutely nothing about what is going on between Lacey and Danny behind her back, Lacey has a change of heart.

After being given an ultimatum to choose between her friend group and Danny and Jo, Lacey not only reveals who she chose, but also how she feels about Danny!

She tells him she doesn’t think he poisoned anyone, and to thank her for her trust in him, he gives her a passionate kiss that turns out into a full-on make-out session!

The steamy make-out didn’t last long when Lacey noticed they were making out on top of Danny’s aunt’s grave. Can you say awkward?

But apparently the awkward discovery wasn’t what made Lacey run away. She left Danny to go break up with Archie, and then go back to Danny’s house to tell him! It looks like the Dacey ship is about to set sail!

Sure, all of the Dacey fans are going insane with excitement now that the pair’s relationship is heating up, but what about Jo? The poor girl not only admitted earlier in the episode that she has feelings for Danny, but she confessed to her mom toward the end of the episode that those feelings are pretty darn strong.

Yep, our girl Jo is in LOVE with Danny!

Although Lacey has made it obvious that she has feelings for him as well, she has yet to actually say the “L” word. We’re anxious to see where this crazy love triangle leads!

Chief Masterson’s Police Force Finds The Necklace

As if the complicated love triangle isn’t enough to make us come back next week, one of Chief Masterson (Sam Robards)’s fellow officers comes up with a big find at the end of the episode — the necklace!

Just when Karen (Denise Richards) thought she was ridding her and Danny of Tara’s necklace by chucking it into a lake, Chief Masterson’s crew of policemen outsmarted Karen’s plan and somehow managed to find that tiny necklace at the bottom of a huge lake.

However the police went about finding it, having the necklace in their position might allow for some clues to unravel next week. Who knows what they’ll find out now that it has been sitting in nasty lake water!

What clues do YOU think will be revealed once the necklace is examined, HollywoodLifers? Is Danny guiltier than he has seemed in the last few episodes? And who are you rooting for in the Danny/Lacey/Jo love triangle? Leave a comment below!
